I picked that up from living in Tenn., never any crime there Well not really. I've never locked my doors cept when I lived in an apt in Charlotte, only because it was an apartment. I go by the old adage that if they want to get in, they will. cr****

So the only thing worse than a grownup who bullies other gronwups is a grownup who bullies children. I was taking my kids to the comic book store today and they ran ahead of me and pulled on the door, but it was locked. One of my boys said "the sign says be back later," at the same time I was catching up to them, another guy came from the other side. He pointed at the clock below the sign and said - "learn to read all the signs, kid! See where the clock has a little hand on the 4 and a big hand on the 12? That means I don't have to be back until 4!" He must have thought they were on their own - as I came up behind him while he was unlocking the door and said "What the f*ck is that supposed to mean, a*shole? Why don't you address ME with your amazing time keeping skills." He looked at me, looked at them, put it together and then apologized profusely, said he was having a terrible day and offered us 20% off anything we wanted in the store. I asked the kids if they wanted to still go in - they said yes (except my oldest who whispered to me - "I don't want to give him any money after he talked to us like that" - God bless him). I told them "I'll buy you double what you were going to get here at the store across town." We boogied.

I kind of felt bad about the bad words - but not really, the kids were super proud (I hate to admit that it felt good - don't know where that came from - must be a mother hen thing or something).

Good for him, as far as the owner. Maybe he did see you and it is a marketing snare of his. Hey 20 percent off is a normal sale jk ... cr****

I'm sorry for offending your standards of decency by using the word "slampiece." Where I come from it's interchangeable with "hot" or "smokin" or whatever. But of course, I can't expect people on a Bonnaroo message board to be open minded. So I'll make sure to tone it down next time, just for you problem dog.

You didn't offend my standards of decency, I just think you're a jackass because words like "slampiece" are a part of your working vocabulary. See the difference, bruh?

I'm pretty open minded, but where I come from saying shít like this sorta makes you a bad person.

As a woman, I will chime in with this. Terms like "slampiece" horribly objectify females, and only serves to weed out men who actually respect women from their douchebags counterparts.

Please elaborate how that term objectifies women. I'm curious to know about the long history of its usage in our country where women have been put down by being called a "slampiece." Feel free to provide examples in our culture and media that demonstrate this word as being so objectionable.

OK, now I have to speak up, since you are somehow trying to defend this. Women have been objectified in disgusting ways from the beginning of time, and it still doesn't make it OK. The results of being told that you are a "slampiece"? A little something called "self-fulfilling prophecy", a little thing called "low self esteem related to you seeing your worth as being only related to your ability to sexually please a man", (see also porn that only represents women with bodies that are unattainable by the common woman AKA the cause of eating disorders and body dysmorphic disorder), etc etc.
